Some of you may or may not know that I am breakfast challenged. I don't eat eggs, cereal or meat which means for breakfast I'm limited to toast and oatmeal (yes I eat oatmeal, shut up don't ruin it or I will hurt you). I can only eat so much of the same old oatmeal with Splenda and cinnamon for breakfast before I get bored. While I was moseying down the oatmeal isle the other day I discovered this.
I only purchased the Apples with cinnamon and the Vanilla Almond and Honey.
To date I've only tried the Vanilla Almond and Honey because I keep forgetting the other one at home. First of all, although I have a serious gluten intolerance and I am supposed to avoid, wheat and barley, we have learned that Shannon is not so good on the whole following of rules thing. So while it hurts like a bitch afterwards, it sure as shit taste good going down.
First of all, here are the ingredients as listed:
Does anyone else notice anything about that?
ALL THE INGREDIENTS ARE PRONOUNCEABLE!!!!!!
This means there is some good shit in that little bag huh. I mean really, if I wasn't so lazy I could make this stuff on my own. I followed the instructions, and added 1/4 cup of water and nuked it for 90 seconds. I added a little milk at the end and stirred. It is sooo good. It has a very subtle vanilla flavor. Nothing that makes it taste desert like and nothing that makes it taste to boring. The almonds are REAL SLIVERED almonds and remain crunchy. They don't get all rubbery and gross like some nuts do. The honey is a very light undertone. Personally I don't like to much honey makes it taste like I'm sucking on a sugar cane. The oats, wheat and barley offer different textures for my mouth which is a nice change to mushy oatmeal by itself. I love this as a breakfast as it is not to sweet and it was very satisfying. It sort of reminds me of the vanilla almond Special K. I think if you were dieting this would be a nice evening snack but I personally really enjoy it as a breakfast. It wasn't so sweet that it left my belly feeling gross like a donut or even some yogurts. Also it had just enough flavor that aside from my splash of milk I didn't have to add a single thing.
I give this new healthy product four thumbs up (Codi counts as two extra thumbs it is that good). Tomorrow I will be sure to pack one of the Apples with Cinnamon ones because I can't wait to try it out. I probably won't buy the Maple Brown sugar with Pecans because I don't like maple, or pecans.
If you are interested you can check out the product here online. I found mine at a local Smiths so it is an easily accessible product!
So now, go eat, get full, be warm and enjoy!
